45-second read · 4 questions answered below
What does this do?
HR 4386 clarifies how the America the Beautiful Pass applies to motorcycle travelers. Under the bill, a passholder arriving by motorcycle gets free entry for that motorcycle and its passengers, plus one additional motorcycle traveling with them and its passengers. The change applies at national parks, national forests, Bureau of Land Management sites, and other federal recreation areas.
Who does it affect?
The bill affects America the Beautiful Pass holders who travel by motorcycle to federal recreation areas. It also affects the federal agencies managing those lands, which would need to update their entrance fee guidelines.
Why does it matter?
Without this change, a second motorcycle in the same group would likely have to pay a separate entrance fee. The bill puts motorcycle groups on more equal footing with car travelers, since a single car can already carry multiple people under one pass.
